Pantry Pad Thai

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch cubes
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen veggie mix, mine had broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, and green beans
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 12 oz pad thai or rice noodles

Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cayenne pepper
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, use less if you’re sensitive to spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for topping, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Cook until peanut butter thins out and keep over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, while preparing the rest of the dish.
  • Season the cut chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a fry pan over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Brown the chicken in batches until just edges are just golden and remove to plate.
  • Saute the bell pepper and garlic in the same saucepan used for the chicken until just starting to soften.
  • Add the chicken, frozen veggies, and sauce to the saucepan with the bell peppers. Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the rice noodles and cook until they’re heated through. Serve topped with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
